Rayudu replaced Rohit Sharma in the Indian XI.

Ambati Rayudu got his third half-century for India in the third One-Day International (ODI) between India and England at Trent Bridge. Rayudu’s innings came after he replaced Rohit Sharma, who also got a fifty in the last game.

Earlier, India bowled England out for 227. It was a story of two halves: while the fast bowlers bowled, the edges evaded the fielders and England’s opening duo of Alastair Cook and Alex Hales put on a stand of 82. Then the spinners were introduced and England crashed from 82 without loss to 149 for six before a brief recovery. However, England still ended at a mediocre 227 in the end.
